Eligibility for the Agility Competition will be as per the Kennel Club Regulations H for Starters in force at

Heat is open to all eligible Starters, but only “Agility Club” members at the time of the Heat can qualify
for the Final.
Qualifiers may enter further Heats for competition providing they are eligible. Handlers who gain a place
in a Heat with a previously qualified dog should inform the show secretary on the day of the show of this
fact.
The competition for the 2006 Final will consist of at least 10 and a maximum of 15 Heats, with the first 2
Agility Club members from each Heat going through to the Final.
RULES AND REGULATIONS YKC TEAM AGILITY (FINAL TO BE HELD AT CRUFTS 2006)
1. Teams must represent a KC club or group of clubs. All teams should consist of 5 dogs handled by 5
separate members. For the first year only all 5 handlers may be from different clubs.
2. Handlers may compete in more than one team from the same club/s but must handle a different dog in each
team. Once a handler has qualified, he/she may not compete for a different team for the same year.
3. Handlers must be YKC members. They may handle any KC registered dog, providing that another person
